Shawn Phillips - Xasper lyrics

Phillips He got trouble, he got strife He got difficulty in his life He got trouble walkin' on his toes And I think there's something wrong with his nose And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love He got women, he got wine He got everything to make him feel fine He got everything this world can give But he still don't know how to wake up and live And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love 'Cause he be too black and too proud Or too white and too loud He be too low or too high The difference is he's frightened and he don't know how to try And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love
